Top 3 International Roller Coasters for 2007

Top 3 International Coasters Debuting in 2007America debuts amazing new roller coasters every year, but it’s not really accurate to say the U.S. is on the cutting edge in coaster design anymore. This Thursday I’m going to countdown the three biggest roller coasters to debut oversees in 2007.

Troy at ToverlandSevenum, NetherlandsGreat Coasters International is designing a wooden coaster that’s reminiscent of their hit, Thunderhead. From the illustration, it looks to be a very fun coaster. It’s scheduled to open on June 23rd. Toverland is also home to a Vekoma motorbike coaster called Booster Bike!

Kirnu at LinnanmakiHelsinki, FinlandKirnu is a new Intamin 4th Dimension coaster design that just opened at Linnanmaki. On 4th dimension roller coasters, two riders are positioned on either side of the track. Their seats allow them to spin freely on their own axis. I’m sure it won’t be long before Intamin brings one of these to our shores.

Furios Baco at PortAventuraSalou, SpainFurios Baco is an Intamin Accelerator coaster that will be opening at PortAventura in Spain. It will feature 4D-style seating with riders positioned on either side of the track, but the seats will not spin. It will propel riders from 0 to 80 in 3.5 seconds. Portions of Furios Baco will be over water.. PortAventura is also home to the former inversion record holder, Dragon Khan.

I went to Toverland in 2009 and have ridden Troy there a couple of times but found it disappointing. It's a fast and twisting layout, but I found the airtime to not be forceful enough. I think I tried both front and back rows. It's decent, but not great.
